We use Angle Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES) to study the relationship between the pseudogap, pairing and Fermi arcs in cuprates. High quality data measured over a wide range of dopings reveals a consistent picture of Fermiology and pairing in these materials. The pseudogap is due to an ordered state that competes with superconductivity rather than preformed pairs. Pairing does occur below T_pair ~ 150K and significantly above T_c, but well below T* and the doping dependence of this temperature scale is distinct from that of the pseudogap. The d-wave gap is present below T_pair, and its interplay with strong scattering creates “artificial” Fermi arcs for T_c ≤ T ≤ T_pair. However, above T_pair, the pseudogap exists only at the antipodal region. This leads to presence of real, gapless Fermi arcs close to the node. The length of these arcs remains constant up to T*, where the full Fermi surface is recovered. As a result, we demonstrate that these findings resolve a number of seemingly contradictory scenarios.
